POLL: Majority of GOP, IND Say Government Reporting on COVID Vaccine Effectiveness Biased, DEMS Disagree
72% of Republicans and 53% of Independents Lack Confidence that the Federal Government is Reporting Unbiased Information on Effectiveness of COVID-19 Vaccines, While 65% of Democrats Are Confident in Government Information
(Austin, TX—Aug 5, 2021) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018 and 2020—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted July 29th through August 1st of over 1,000 likely 2022 election voters.
"Washington, DC has consistently released inconsistent, confusing, and conflicting information since the beginning of the pandemic. Is it any wonder that Americans are skeptical that ever-shifting announcements related to the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines are any different? Instead of focusing on so-called misinformation spreading among citizens—who are attempting to discern fact from fiction—our leaders should focus instead on being truthful and scientific,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action.
